my favorite are pockets. i just switched my whole stash to them after trying them all. they are dh and grandma friendly. plus i can easily stuff them with more or use different inserts. this was dh's preferred style.

I was sold on pockets in the beginning of my CD'ing journey but have come to love prefolds in the past 2 months! I NEVER have stink issues like I did with pocket inserts, they are MUCH less expensive, and the covers dry SOOOO quickly (my Duo Wraps are my fave but I am REALLY wanting to try fleece and Blueberry covers!)! I am primarily using unbleached Indian prefols but have a few Chinese thrown in.

I like pocket diapers best because they are easy, are cute, absorbent and contain messes. Prefolds and covers don't keep my baby as dry and are more of a hassle. AIOs take a long time to dry. I have not tried fitteds and covers yet.

I am torn between prefolds and bumgenius diapers. I love how easy both are to use on my FOUR KIDDOS…The prefolds are so simple to use for my daughter, being able to re-use the cover and save on laundry. Though for my big boys the bumgenius is super absorbant! also the fit is amazing from birth on up…

i personally love fitted diapers you still get the double layer protection of a diaper and cover but unlike prefolds i can actually get my husband to change a fitted diaper i personally think its the best diapering system.

I like different types of diapers for different situations: trim aio's or pockets for on-the-go and fitteds for airing out at home!! Also if I know a big bm is imminent, I'll put a pocket on her because the single-surface fleece is the easiest to clean off…..

I haven't cloth diapered yet, but I think I'm going to like pocket diapers best. I have pockets, AIOs, fitted, and plan to get pre-folds, but after starting to prep my diapers and playing with the options I'm most excited about the pocket.

I like pocket diapers the best. Prefolds are less expensive and faster to launder… but pockets tend to be cuter, easier to get on a squirmy child, easier to pack for running errands, and I like the fabric better up against his skin – it just seems softer.

I just started cloth diapering part time a couple days ago. I got a Bumgenius One size and some prefolds with covers. So far I am liking the ease of the one size pockets one better. Those prefolds are scaring me but I am sure I will eventually get the hang of it.

Our favorites are pockets – we especially love the SmartiPants pockets because you don't have to remove the inserts! We like pockets the best because they don't require a cover and they dry more quickly than AIOs.

I prefer pocket diapers so far. I like just being able to grab a diaper and go. They are stuffed after they are washed, so they are super convenient with 4 kiddos at home! I don't mind fitted diapers, but they do take extra time…they are nice for bedtime.

We just had our first day in cloth today and I'm using size small bum genius AIO's and Urban Fluff AIO's. I also have some G-diapers with cloth inserts that I've yet to try. I really want to try the Bum Genius AIO one-size when our little man outgrows size small.

I love pockets. I love the flexibility you have of how absorbent the diaper is. If I know my daughter has been drinking a lot more than usual, I just throw in an extra insert and don't worry about it! And it doesn't hurt that my husband loves them too

Pockets are my favorite, but really they are all I have tried. I would love to experiment with prefolds and fitteds with a wool cover, but since we are CDIng in part to save money, I feel I shouldn't buy new ones just to try. The pockets are working great for us!

I like prefolds and covers around the house, but I prefer pockets when we are out and about. They are just easier to change and transport. However, I love fitteds with wool covers for night. So, I guess I have lots of favorites! 😉

My favorites are Unbleached Indian or Chinese Prefolds. So much bang for your buck. I have been cloth diapering for over 4 years now and have not spent nearly as much money as one would think on diapers. I am always buying new covers, but a lot has to do with the way they look. I also have never had a problem with smelly diapers. I have tried Pockets and always end up with stinky inserts. Yuck! I like fitteds and covers as well. They are just more convenient and Daddy likes them too.

I've only tried a few CD's so far. But my favorite fitteds have been 2 WAHM brands, Apple Bubble Baby and Bagshot Row Bamboo's. I love that the ABB's are OS and mostly customizable and that both the fitteds are pretty trim fitting on my daughter. I really love my pockets that I have I have 1 BG, 1 BumJoy and a couple I dont know whats (lol) they are all OS and I love that they can last my daughter till shes PT.

We love the pockets with loops. They seem to work the best no matter which one of us is diapering. The inserts that I have are thin but we double them at nite. Thanks for asking. I get so many good points from you site.

Ugh, I'm torn between liking prefolds or pockets the best! Prefolds are more easily adjustable, and cheaper (depending on where you get 'em) but pockets are more Daddy friendly, and, as others have stated, you can mess around with the absorbency level.

After trying everything, I am ready to go back to plain natural cotton fitteds/prefolds with covers. Preferably wool/fleece covers. The washing/stripping/repelling/rashes/extended-drying-time routine is too much with aios and pockets.

My favorites are now gro-baby. We have been using them for several months now, and the quality is unparalleled! We were faithful Fuzzi Bunz family for three kids, but they wore out (way too much use!)and I started trying different things. BumGenius, KissALoves, and several others. I still try new things, but am wholly dedicated to the gro-babys for now!

I think pockets are my favorites. I certainly own the most of those. I really like how easy they are to use and that they can be stuffed with whatever works best for each individual child. Personally I like bamboo inserts.

We prefer prefolds with bamboo or hemp inserts with a pul snapping cover or wool soaker. And we use pockets at night or when we send the baby to the grandparents. I have to put an insert even in AIO dipes, and the stitching on most fitteds bothers my daughter's legs.

I started with prefolds with covers and even though I have gone to pockets with#2 as he got older I went back to prefolds with #3 when she was born. Prefolds are still my favorites ( with just having tried those 2 types )

I haven't officially cd'd yet since little one gets here in a few weeks but we've taken all the advice we've received to try a mix of things at first. I have prefolds/covers, pockets, fitteds, and some AIOs…we'll just see what works! Thanks for the giveaway!

love pockets, they are easy – I stuff them and the rest of the family has NO problem changing diapers. They wash and dry pretty quickly, the only downside is microfiber really holds the soap, so we get stinkies if I don't soak them once in awhile…

was sold on pockets in the beginning of my CD'ing journey but have come to love prefolds in the past 2 months! I NEVER have stink issues like I did with pocket inserts, they are MUCH less expensive, and the covers dry SOOOO quickly (my Duo Wraps are my fave but I am REALLY wanting to try fleece and Blueberry covers!)! I am primarily using unbleached Indian prefols but have a few Chinese thrown in.

My favorite are prefolds. You can abuse them (and with more than just me handling DS's diapers, that's a likely occurrence), and still have usable diapers in the end. Plus, you can always get them dyed to match any outfit 🙂

I'm trying BG AIOs, Thirsties AIO, and bought some used sposoeasy brand AIO's to try as well. But I'm trying some pockets too (mostly FBs). I really like the idea of an AIO for our daycare so if I can afford it and they work well I'm going to try do this to make my return to work easier! I can't wait, just 4 more weeks!

I am new to cloth…I didnt cloth diaper my son who is 4..but I am pregnant again and I'm definately going to cloth diaper this time around! I really want to try pocket diapers, for me those seem like the best and the easiest!

I love my prefolds and my pockets. My prefolds are soft, absorbant, quick to sun bleach white, versatile to fold and fit many different babies, and 100% cotton! My pockets are double stuffable for nights, stay dry (all but one), quick drying, and easy to use. I use AIOs for outings and Grandmas.

I like the fitteds because I've never had any issues getting them to not leak.The aios are amazingly easy and convenient and by far the easiest to convince baby sitters/grandparents to use because it's really no different than a disposable.And the pockets are wonderful because it's nearly as easy as the aios, but they dry twice as fast.

I have been a pocket only gal up until this new baby. I am expecting in November and want to try EVERYTHING! I have some OS and some fitteds & AIOs and covers added to the stash now. I want to branch out from FB and try other brands too!

My favorites are the pocket style, I think they seem less likely to leak. I am fairly new to cloth diapering (our daughter is 4 months). I am trying to get a few of each style and brand. I am becoming addicted to it! I love all the cute prints and best of all NO rashes!!

From what I've read, I think I'd like the one-size or aio, but until I've tried them I can't be certain! Planning to cloth diaper when we have our next baby (hopefully be preg within the year!).garyandalesha at cox dot net

I really like the one size pocket diapers. They just seem to be perfect in every way. 1) They are most economical as they fit as long as you need diapers 2) The pocket system is great because it keeps baby dry and can be adjusted for the absorbency you need (nighttime, long car rides, etc.). I just love them!

I'd like to transition from disposables to cloth and would like to try the brands of pocket diapers that are one size and have snaps–to counter the sticker shock of a front-loaded cost diapering experience, I find myself looking for characteristics that will insure diaper longevity.

I have recently started accumulating more fitted diapers. They are my current favorite for my 2 yr old because they are absorbent enough to wear around the house without a cover & are easy to add extra absorbency to at night or for car trips.

I love pickets. I only own 3 for nighttime and trips out b/c of the expense, but they are so much easier than PF's, which is what I use the rest of the time. Don't get me wrong, I love the PF's, but the pockets are definitely easier.
